Welcome to TechSpot! I will help with the problems. I have deleted your duplicate thread. Sometimes it takes a few minutes to get the thread up.

Please tell me what problem you are having. I am "assuming"- as much as I hate to do that, when you do a search on Google and choose a site, you are being directed to a different sit>> is that correct? I don't want you to leave any clickable links, just description.

Tell me about the YouTube problem- what is it?

Be patient. Malware cleaning takes time and I am also working with other members while I am helping you.

Read my instructions carefully. If you don't understand or have a problem, ask me.

If you have questions, or if a program doesn't work, stop and tell me about it. Don't try to get around it yourself.

Follow the order of the tasks I give you. Order is crucial in cleaning process.

File sharing programs should be uninstalled or disabled during the cleaning process..

Observe these:
[o] Don't use any other cleaning programs or scans while I'm helping you.
[o] Don't use a Registry cleaner or make any changes in the Registry.
[o] Don't download and install new programs- except those I give you.

Please let me know if there is any change in the system.

=====================================
When I get some description from you, we will go on. The more I know, the better to help you.

Sorry for the duplicate post. I missed the message saying topics require moderator approval and assumed my thread had been eaten be some grandiose machine.

The Google problem is similar to that described in other threads. Google result links will occasionally redirect to third-party websites. Sorry that I don't have any example domains. This is quite infrequent and more inconveniencing than crippling.

The Youtube problem is much stranger and has only occured once. I played a video embedded in a website and "videorewardcentral.com", an obvious scam site, opened in a new tab.

In retrospect the Youtube problem may be unrelated to the Google problem or even my computer (site with the embedded video may be compromised or such).

I don't know if the problems are related, but possibly you got the malware that is causing the redirect from either the video or the site it was on.

It is had only one problem, on youtube with a specific download, if you know what the video is, you should remove it. But I don't think there is any connection to the redirect you're getting using Google.
